Not that I need to go that fast, but nice to know it's in there and running efficiently. I'll report back.

What prop are you using Mr. Knot?

Mr Knot...took me a minute ::) ...


"running efficiently" rather than runnin' top speed is what it's all about w/props ... at least for me anyway ... do ya know the max RPMs recommended by the mfgr? ... I'd be lookin' to have the CAPABILITY of gettin' MOST of that from a given prop and then find a comfortable cruise w/it (should be around 2/3 to 3/4 of max) ...
